Laputanmachine posted:Teppu is (or was) pretty extraordinary in that it was about girls/young women MMA and it wasn't beachballboob bimbos making out with each other. All Rounder Meguru doesn't focus on women like Teppu but the women in the story are depicted very well overall and aren't overly sexualized. Hell most of the women in the story can destroy the main male characters at this point. Sadly, it doesn't update too often but if you like Teppu I can't see it being unenjoyable. It gets way more into the techniques in the fight and IMO does a nice job explaining them. Good research on the authors part and no character wins because they "develop a secret punch" or "win because of superior japanese spirit" or crap like that.

The main character is not only a detective, he's a t-rex

Hell most of the women in the story can destroy the main male characters at this point. Meguru is a great manga with probably the most realistic fighting sport depiction in manga generally. There's a lot of chapters in japanese too, but lately no one's picking it up.

Literally The Worst posted:someone sell me on keyman It has a different tone from most manga in a way that I really like. Most of the characters aren't really typical manga stereotypes (aside from arguably Dr. Necro in some ways). Also, it is one of the seemingly 10% of all manga that clearly have a story they want to tell (rather than being made up as they go along) and are paced well.

Dorohedoro is done by a female author and it shows, if a character has big breasts, well, that's just a physical feature. With lots of other (male) authors, the reason to have a character with big breasts is to have fanservice or at least to have sexy♥ character.

Also both Nikaido and Noi are built like brick shithouses since one is a mechanic-slash-cook and the other is a mafia enforcer so it looks way less stupid than a waif-thin girl with balloons stapled to her. I wish Dorohedoro would end soon so I have an excuse to read it all from scratch.

I'm not sure about it it. Alex is cool, the city is cool. Necro is embarrassing and gross. Boob cop is cool. I like how dirty the action scene art is, to a point. Some of the panels are just confusing, though. 6 chapters in and I'll probably drop it unless chapter 7 is particularly good.

Necro becomes better later, once you find out more about who she is and why she looks the way she does.

I like Keyman but all the fanservice is definitely a problem, especially early on. And it didn't really live up to its premise of "dinosaur detective investigates superhero murder", a lot of it is just weird magic fights. The art style is great, I just wish the author wasn't so obsessed with huge boobs and tentacles.

I just finished reading Dorohedoro. It was a trip and a half filled with bizarre and surreal imagery and characters, as well as violence and gore. And tits. And gyoza. ... I think that covers everything.

And it didn't really live up to its premise of "dinosaur detective investigates superhero murder", a lot of it is just weird magic fights. I think I pretty much agree with what you're saying. For some reason the big tits and what have you in Keyman never felt quite as fanservice-y as what you usually see in manga, though I have trouble articulating exactly why. Like, the art style used in Keyman doesn't seem to result in any of the female characters looking remotely attractive (similar to the way nudity looks in Dorohedoro). I think that, for all its faults, Keyman is still worth reading just because it has a story it wants to tell and does a good job of telling it. I can overlook any number of issues as long as I'm still curious about where a story is going. edit: So I just read this comic 17-sai and it was depressing as hell. These guys abduct and rape/abuse this girl, and it seems to be a retelling of the real life Junko Furuta case. To be honest, I can't really recommend it. It's just too realistic and upsetting.

I feel like the series getting popular created some kinda weird contractual nikado must stop wearing clothes and is now basically retarded instead of always wears clothes and drop kicks lots of dudes, other than that it was a hell of a ride after the last chapter the ending seems pretty clear cut unless something totally insane happens which is of course always a possibility.

A couple new chapters of School Live came out. http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Gakkou-Gurashi/Gakkou-Gurashi--040----Read-Online?id=245719 There is a new character with huge baps who is good at combat so I doubt she lasts for very long Also, seems like Ruu might be real after all, if she's being held and riding around on Yuki's shoulders. Or Yuki could just have a large teddy bear on her shoulders, either or
